https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_cloth

Char cloth (or charcloth) – also called charpaper – is a material that is used in fire making. It is a swatch of fabric made from vegetable fiber (such as linen, cotton or jute) that has been converted via pyrolysis into a slow-burning fuel of very low ignition temperature.

It can be ignited by a single spark that can in turn be used to ignite a tinder bundle to start a fire. Depending on its source material and completeness of char, its autoignition temperature is between 349 ?C (660 ?F) and 455 ?C (851 ?F).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_index#/random

Site index is a term used in forestry to describe the potential for forest trees to grow at a particular location or "site." Site is defined as “The average age of dominate and/or codominate trees of an even-aged, undisturbed site of intolerant trees at a base age”;[1] furthermore, the word site is used in forestry to refer to a distinct area where trees are found.[2] Site index is used to measure the productivity of the site and the management options for that site and reports the height of dominant and co-dominant trees in a stand at a base age such as 25, 50 and 100 years.[2] For example, a red oak with an age of 50 years and a height of 70 feet (21 m) will have a site index of 70. Site index is species specific. Common methods used to determine site index are based on tree height, plant composition and the use of soil maps.

Sant'Eulalia dei Catalani is a deconsecrated church in Palermo, Sicily, southern Italy. Dedicated to St. Eulalia of Barcelona, it is located nearby the historical quarter of Vucciria.

The church was built in the 15th century, during the Aragonese rule of Sicily, with the financial support of Catalan merchants that were working in the city. Initially it was dedicated to Virgin Mary, and only later the naming was switched to the current saint, also of Catalan origin.

The church was thoroughly rebuilt starting from 1630. The works were completed only in the 19th century. In 1823 an earthquake damaged the bell tower, which was subsequently demolished.

The London Underground Circle Stock consisted of 90 cars renovated in 1934 at Acton Works, selected by the LPTB from earlier Metropolitan Railway stock - mainly dating from the early 1920s but some from 1906. The vehicles were externally repainted in a red-and-cream livery at first; later all-red. They operated in five-car formations.

Borve Castle, also known as Castle Wearie, and Caisteal Bhuirgh in Scottish Gaelic, is a ruined 14th century tower house, located at the south-west of the island of Benbecula, in the Western Isles of Scotland. MacGibbon and Ross attributed the building of the tower to Amie mac Ruari, wife of John of Islay, and dated it to between 1344 and 1363.[1] It was occupied by the Macdonalds of Benbecula until the early 17th century.

The ruined tower measures 18 metres (59 ft) by 11 metres (36 ft), and 9 metres (30 ft) high. The walls are up to 2.7 metres (8.9 ft) thick. The entrance, in the south wall, led into the second of three storeys.[1] The ruins are protected as a Scheduled Monument.[2]
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligusticum_scoticum

Ligusticum scoticum, known as Scots lovage, or Scottish licorice-root, is a perennial plant of the family Umbelliferae (Apiaceae) found near the coasts of northern Europe and north-eastern North America. It grows up to 60 centimetres (24 in) tall and is found in rock crevices and cliff-top grassland. It is closely related to, and possibly conspecific with, Ligusticum hultenii from the coast of the northern Pacific Ocean. The plant is edible and contains the compound sotolon which is also present in fenugreek. The leaves have a flavour similar to parsley or celery, while the seeds taste similar to fenugreek or cumin.
